More money troubles for Wayne Newton as some hefty hospital bills will soon be weighing him down even more.

The National Enquirer is reporting that Wayne is fighting to keep debt collectors at bay while he sits at the bedside of his ailing daughter, Erin. Wayne canceled a string of concerts that would have helped him financially to fly to St. Louis last month when his pregnant daughter suffered liver, kidney and respiratory failure due to a rare but life-threatening pregnancy-related illness called HELLP syndrome. Last Thursday, she fell into a coma and Wayne has refused to leave her side since.

Thankfully, Erin regained consciousness this week, but Wayne still refuses to leave her. The longer he stays, the more $$$ trouble he gets into. But we can't really fault him on this one. We know we'd want to be there if someone we loved just went through something so dramatic.

CUT HIM A BREAK?! Because his daughter is sick? He's made millions of dollars over the years and he didn't manage it properly. There are MILLIONS of Americans who earn a tiny fraction of what he earns from one performance! No one is coming to their aid. Creditor still be knocking on their door. These are hard-working people who can't make ends meet. They have hospital bills they can never pay and forget about "elective" treatments. They can't even begin to afford that. Wayne is someone who had the means but squandered it. He needs to pay up just like everyone else.

Re: diggitydoggg – Are you serious? When was the last time your HMO paid more than a pittance? I had a jeep roll over me and between the operation and the medication, I pay $1110.00 And thats AFTER insurance co-pays.And the accident wasn't even my fault (according to the trooper, the 3 witnesses and the chopper- which filmed the whole thing). Oh, and to add insult to injury, my former good credit is now in the hole due to a $250,000 operation on my spine and tailbone. I may or may not get the money for the medical stuff, but in the meantime, I'm left swinging in the breeze, watching my well-earned savings fly right by. And, money or no money, he is a Dad, and his daughter was gravely ill.

When have creditors EVER given anyone a break? I once received a collection notice from -get this- Blockbuster video for $1.00. They sent me to a collection agency which I'm sure cost them more then a buck. These people are the leeches of life.

Wayne is a good guy, he has done a lot for charities and the people of Las Vegas…I wish his daughter a speedy recovery and hope he lands on his feet! (I'm sure he will!) I have meet him before and he is such a nice guy and very down to earth…God Speed Mr. Las Vegas!

Ok, why should we feel sorry for these rich people who have blown through all their money by living beyond their means or not managing it properly?? I'm sorry he has a sick loved one but so do I, and I work two jobs in MY real life. I have no sympathy for these celebrities…Nicholas Cage, Sinbad….ugh the list goes on! Btw…is he wearing lipstick?

Re: gwyneth –

There are those of us who support him 150% - Be strong Wayne - Las Vegas loves you and things are going to turn out well for you - just keep the faith!
